Read it long ago before picking up on better discernment qualifiers. Don't remember being shown anything outlandishly bad, but this was before 2000. I remember being somewhat encouraged by it at the time. I hope you enjoy it.

Was reading "A 'Wonderful' Deception" by Warren B Smith, but swapped it for DeWaay. They cover the same topic from totally different styles and angles, and then Smith hits some other things later on.

On deck after the above three are "Mortification of Sin" by John Owen and "Worldliness" by Timothy Keller

"A Pastor's Sketches" (Vol.1) by Ichabod Spencer - not always reading it, but keep it around for the occasional anecdote--standalone chapters.

Conrad, I try to read all of Timothy Keller's books. I'm not familiar with the one you mentioned. Is it a sermon or booklet, or is it actually a book? Do you have a link to it? Thank you.

Now that sounds like a great recommendation, I'm going to add it to my library request list.

It is the greatest murder mystery I've ever read. Absolutely turns you upside down & makes you change your mind 15 times. Even knowing the solution this time through, I still caught myself cheering for/against various characters. Absolutely amazing.
